About this listen

Jeremiah 10:23–24 teaches that:

  • Humans are not capable of directing their lives perfectly on their own

  • We must rely on God for wisdom and guidance

  • When God corrects us, we should desire His loving discipline, not His wrath

This same truth is demonstrated in Joshua 9, when:

  • Joshua and the Israelites were deceived by the Gibeonites

  • They made a peace treaty without seeking God’s guidance

  • The result brought long-term consequences they couldn’t undo

Joshua and the leaders trusted their eyesight instead of God’s insight. They said “yes” to something God would have warned them about — if they had asked.
